In this article, we'll install the OptiSigns app on your Android TV or Chromecast and pair it with your OptiSigns account.
Turn any Android TV, Google TV or Chromecast with Google TV into a digital sign. You install the free OptiSigns Digital Signage app from the Google Play Store, pair it with your OptiSigns account, and then manage what it shows from the OptiSigns portal.
Install the OptiSigns App
On your TV's home screen, open the Google Play Store. On Android TV, select Get more apps.
Search for OptiSigns Digital Signage and select it in the results.
Select Install.
When the installation finishes, open the app.
The app shows a pairing code. Keep it on screen; you'll need it in the next section.
Pair the TV with Your Account
- On a computer or phone, go to app.optisigns.com and log in. If you don't have an account yet, select Create Account. You can also log in with Google, Microsoft or Facebook.
- On the Screens page, select Add Screen.
- Enter the pairing code shown on your TV in Pair code, then select Pair.
Note: Codes are case-sensitive. The portal enters them in capitals. If the code on your TV has lowercase letters, select Use lowercase pairing code first.
The TV changes to show that it's paired.
Start OptiSigns Automatically
The app's Autostart setting is on by default, so OptiSigns opens by itself when the TV turns on. If your TV doesn't allow apps to start on their own, the app shows a message saying so. In that case, open OptiSigns with the remote each time the TV restarts.
Tip: On newer Android TV versions, apps need the Display over other apps permission to start on their own. If OptiSigns doesn't open after a restart, allow this permission for OptiSigns in your TV's app settings.
